Stressors and Enhancers in the Marital Life of the Clinical Psychologist

Résumé du livre

Enhancers and stressors were gathered from the responses of 68 clinical psychologists and correlated with the Locke-Wallace Martial Adjustment Test, as well as a measure created and used to identify confidence and experience levels in various issues in therapy. Clinical psychologists reported significantly more enhancers than stressors, and the exposure to more enhancers appeared to be significantly correlated with higher marital adjustment. This is consistent with previous research in the area. Several otherhypothesese were explored. Implications for training, policy, and future research are discussed.
